Pollution is the process of making land, water, air or other parts of the environment dirty and not safe or suitable to use. This can be done through the introduction of a contaminant into a natural environment, but the contaminant doesn't need to be real.

Land can become polluted by household garbage and by industrial waste. Organic material was the largest component of the garbage generated. Commercial or industrial waste is a significant portion of solid waste.
Water pollution happens when chemicals or dangerous foreign substances are introduced to water, including chemicals, sewage, pesticides and fertilizers from agricultural runoff, or metals like lead or mercury.
